Officials are encouraging youth to participate by creating a video that tells their story about how they stand up for agriculture by showcasing their passion for crops, livestock, precision ag or anything in between.

Participants have a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship.

Videos about the contest including advice for putting together a video are available online.

Winners will be chosen through a Facebook contest and will be announced at the Minnesota State Fair prior to the 4-H Purple Ribbon Auction.
